Unnamed Reporter: What happened yesterday at 3 a.m. in Al Qaim? Was there a wedding on? A wedding celebration?

Gen. Mattis: You joined us a little late, as I said to the young lady here, I said how many people how many people go to the desert 10 miles from the Syrian border and hold a wedding 80 miles from the nearest civilization? Over two-dozen military-aged males... let's not be naïve. Let's leave it at that.

(Question unintelligible)

Gen. Mattis: I can't...I've seen the pictures, but I can't...bad things happened. Generally...in Fallujah, I never saw a Marine hide behind a woman or a child or hold them in their house and fire out of the building. I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my Marines.

As you can plainly see, General Mattis clearly shifted his point of reference from the site of the so-called 'wedding party' to Fallujah. When he said he did not have to apologize for the conduct of his Marines, he was contrasting his own Marines' tactics with those of the insurgents, who make a common practice of hiding behind women and children.

Contrast this with these accounts:

The Globe and Mail: "Bad things happen in wars," said Major-General James Mattis, the U.S. Marine commander in charge of occupation forces in western Iraq.

"These were more than two dozen military-age males. I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my men."

That's right, they blow the quote, they take the last sentence out of the Fallujah context and mix it in with the "wedding," and they don't bother with the ellipses normally expected of a journalist when he omits portion of the text of remarks.

Major General James Mattis, commander of the 1st Marine Division, was scathing of those who suggested a wedding party had been hit. "How many people go to the middle of the desert ... to hold a wedding 80 miles (130km) from the nearest civilization? These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive."

When reporters asked him about footage on Arabic television of a child's body being lowered into a grave, he replied: "I have not seen the pictures but bad things happen in wars. I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my men."

Again, no ellipsis. They quote Mattis as saying he has not seen the pictures but in the transcript he says he had. And again, the last sentence is removed from its original context and placed in with the wedding stuff.

Maj. Gen. James Mattis, the commander of the First Marine Division responsible for the remote stretch of desert where the strike was carried out, asked, "How many people go to the middle of the desert 10 miles from the Syrian border to hold a wedding 80 miles from the nearest civilization?"

At a news conference in Falluja, west of Baghdad, he said that two dozen men of military age were among those killed.

"Let's not be naive," he said. "Bad things happen in wars."

"I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my men," he added.

Again, the decontextualization from Fallujah. And I'm still looking for "bad things happen in wars" in the transcript.

"How many people go to the middle of the desert 10 miles from the Syrian border to hold a wedding 80 miles from the nearest civilization?" Mattis said in Falluja.
"These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive...Bad things happen in wars.

"I don't have to apologize for the conduct of my men."

Again, Reuters seems to invent "bad things happen in wars," skips the expected ellipses, and distorts the context of Mattis's assertion that he does not have to apologize for the conduct of his Marines. (Why are so many outlets distorting the exact same way? Are they not doing their own reporting, perchance?)

Asked about the footage, Mattis said: "I have not seen the pictures, but bad things happen in war."

In this case, AFP quotes Mattis as saying the enemy owes the world an apology. But bizarrely, they say he was referring to the Nick Berg beheading--NOT the alleged wedding party. Look over the transcript. There's no mention of the Berg beheading anywhere.

The Independent engages in perhaps the most egregious distortion of all:

"These were more than two dozen military-age males. Let's not be naive," Major General James Mattis, commander of the US 1st Marine Division, said. But he had no explanation of where the dead women and children in the video came from. "I have not seen the pictures but bad things happen in wars," he said cryptically. "I don't have to apologise for the conduct of my men."

For the most part, though, the news outlets are committing the same sins: distorting the general's meaning by omission, by skipping the ellipses (in the same places), and by making the same mistakes.

Essentially, it looks like they're quoting each other, or some apocryphal Q source material. They're not quoting General Mattis. They didn't even show up at the press conference, and they didn't bother to get a transcript or listen to the tape. But all these reporters are passing their crap off as if they were right from the source material.

Absolutely, completely pathetic.

If this is what passes for news coverage, then they ought to fire their reporters and hire some boy scouts to write for them. At least they'll be honest.

Asshats.

Splash, out

UPDATE: Welcome Instapundit readers! (Even if you apparently blow out the Blogspot server!)

The Independent's reporter, Justin Huggler, was formerly stationed in Gaza. I believe that Accuracy in Media and Honest Reporting both have rap sheets for Huggler.

I just checked AIM and there is nothing. However, Honest Reporting has Justin Huggler among their alerts for the so called Jenin massacre reports.http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/critiques/UN_Report_on_Jenin.asp

Huggler also has another alert for failing to provide context in his report on an Israeli raid in Gaza.http://www.honestreporting.com/articles/critiques/New_Lows_in_the_Terror_Campaign.asp

The "cryptic" words just don't apply to the context. An aritcle at antiwar.com suggests Huggler is a novelist that reports on the side.

As a journalist, I'm pretty embarrassed by reports like these. What I'm guessing happened in this instance is all these media outlets are taking their quoted material from a third source so they don't have to sift through the actual transcript to seek out what they really want to use. It's a somewhat regular practice for journalists who don't attend an event to use third-party sources like this. However, the quotes should be checked against the first-person source material. In this case, my hesitant guess is that the reporters just didn't want to check it because they liked what they saw and it fit with their world view. We can indeed use people's "on the record" quotes however we want, but we have a responsibility to quote people correctly and, just as importantly, in the correct context. If people don't believe they'll be treated fairly by the media, they'll stop talking to them. And who can blame them? I hate to see this type of thing. This is part of why we're so poorly thought-of in the public. We're not all like this, guys. Really, we're not.

I'm from Canada and I'm disgusted with what the Globe and Mail reported. I've just fired a letter to the editor about this and also alerted their competitor as well in the hopes that the Globe and Mail will answer these charges.

I think Mr Fallow is having you all on. A visit to his website demonstrates what I can only surmise he thinks is elevated irony. Perhaps the fact that we didn't see it right away is more attributable to the pervasiveness of the phenomenon of bias in the fourth estate

but does this suprise anyone? we've all known for many many months now that the media doesn't care about reporting the truth. they only want to make Bush and his people look bad. it goes along with the lines of Bushes plans for Iraq, although he clearly stated them yesterday, there are those in the media that still insist that he doesn't have a plan. the Librials are the death of the nation.

To "jeff" the journalist - you must be terribly naive. Surely you don't believe in the "objectivity" and "accuracy" of the media? There are so many clear examples of stories being passed around as "true" because "reporters" don't bother to do their own fact checking any more. One of the clearest examples is the story about sublimal messages in the smoke in "Lion King", a story that went worldwide but was found, over a year later, to be fabricated based upon the opinion of one woman in Tennessee.

There is not such thing any more as journalists. Nowadays what we have is repeating terminals. Someone writes something partly based on fact but slanted to portray their particular view of events, and then all the other media outlets simply regurgitate the story.

"Journalists" now routinely interview other "journalists" to "get the story", rather than interviewing eye witnesses or actually visiting the scene of an event and getting the facts about what took place. Or they interview and "expert", who lives half way around the world and is basing their entire opinion upon the "facts" that were "reported. And it's all supposed to be "fair and objective".

The Internet may be the death of journalism, because now interested readers can get their "news" directly from the people involved - not filtered through the prism of a "reporter".

Have you listened to the actual source tape? With so many outlets reporting the same quote that's not in the transcript, I would question the transcript's accuracy. Transcriptionists do make mistakes, especially rushed ones, and the National Review is not necessarily any more trustworthy than other media outlets.

"The Internet may be the death of journalism" ... hear hear !! That sloppy unprofessional cut / paste lazy type. The other thing that the Internet will do is provide good Journalists / Commentators with an independence from biased editors. Readers will search for the name / by line not the publication. Mark Steyn is a good example of this trend.

Excellent work, Jason. I live in the U.K, and the Independent and Guardian are two of the four national broadsheets available over here. Both are total rubbish as far as I'm concerned. I knew this probably decades before you did. The London Times though is pretty good and has to rival the Washington Post for accuracy and objectivity. Check it out some time.

And to listen to politicians thanking each other and complimenting each other, you know, I got to tell you, there are a lot of people here who are very upset, and very angry, and very frustrated. And when they hear politicians slap – you know, thanking one another, it just, you know, it kind of cuts them the wrong way right now, because literally there was a body on the streets of this town yesterday being eaten by rats because this woman had been laying in the street for 48 hours. And there's not enough facilities to take her up. Do you get the anger that is out here?" (Source)

Many online businesses offer great bargains and in some cases, free shipping. Since the Internet is such a competitive market, you can usually find fantastic deals. In addition, many of your favorite businesses where you shop in person have websites that offer even greater savings. Bookstores such as Amazon.com will sell books up to 70% off the original price. Overstock.com is another online business that sells closeout items for fantastic bargains.

Learn how to enjoy life and nature rather than possessions. The next time you feel like spending money, head to your local park where you can enjoy the warm sun, green grass, and towering trees without spending a dime. Being happy in life is far better than buying item after item. Having an inner peace is better than having a house filled with “things.” That does not mean you cannot enjoy some of thefiner things in life it just means learning how to be happy with yourself and not “things.”

Try a different type of recycling that will save you money. Have you ever received a nice gift that you like from someone but will never use? Rather than take it back to the store for an exchange, consider keeping it to give as a gift to someone else. Another way to recycle is to look around your home. There are always things right in your home that can be used to make nice gift baskets – things you never use. For example, the next time you purchase shower gel where you buy one and get one free, keep one for yourself and set the other one aside for future gift giving. You will find hundreds of ideas so be creative and consider things you purchased but have never used.

I just came across your blog about **keyword** and wanted to drop you a note telling you this is a great blog. I also have a web site & blog about Internet Marketing called GoRichJerk, so I know what I'm talking about when I say your site is top-notch! Keep up the great work, you are providing a great resource on the Internet here! GoRichJerk is well worth the visit. Check it out.

You may be wondering what being organized has to do with saving money but in reality, it has a lot to do with it. For example, if you miss a credit card due date by one day, you will be charged anywhere from a 15% to 25% penalty. The same would be true for taxes. Missing one simple date can cost thousands. You need to be organized so you know the exact dates your bills are due as well as keep all receipts, contracts, etc. in an orderly manner.

While Paris, England, or Germany offers excitement, they also cost money to visit. Unfortunately, people on a regular basis forget about the United States and even the very state in which they live. One man had lived in Arizona his entire life. At age 50, when asked by a friend what the Grand Canyon was like, he was unable to answer because he had never been there. The next time you get ready to plan your family vacation, look around where you live and consider an exciting road trip that will not only be educating but cost effective. A vacation does not have to be expensive to be fun and memorable.

Learn how to enjoy life and nature rather than possessions. The next time you feel like spending money, head to your local park where you can enjoy the warm sun, green grass, and towering trees without spending a dime. Being happy in life is far better than buying item after item. Having an inner peace is better than having a house filled with “things.” That does not mean you cannot enjoy some of thefiner things in life it just means learning how to be happy with yourself and not “things.”

If you were to check your grocery or store receipt, approximately 50% of the time you would find an overcharge. This happens all the time and in some cases, the charge can be substantial. The same is true for credit card statements, bank statements, phone bills, etc. Check the detail because it is quite common to find errors. These mistakes can easily be corrected simply by asking and providing a copy of the receipt or statement.

While Paris, England, or Germany offers excitement, they also cost money to visit. Unfortunately, people on a regular basis forget about the United States and even the very state in which they live. One man had lived in Arizona his entire life. At age 50, when asked by a friend what the Grand Canyon was like, he was unable to answer because he had never been there. The next time you get ready to plan your family vacation, look around where you live and consider an exciting road trip that will not only be educating but cost effective. A vacation does not have to be expensive to be fun and memorable.
